Virgil Abloh is what many would refer to as ‘a jack of all trades’. Known as the mastermind behind the burgeoning streetwear label Off-White and his work as Kanye West’s creative director, the first-generation American (Abloh’s parents are from Ghana,) has incited massive waves in the fashion and design scenes, collaborating with artists from Daft Punk to Jay-Z.
Now, Abloh is taking his talents to the music industry with the release of his first single “Orvnge,” created in collaboration with German techno-punk genius, Boys Noize. Released in late January, the track was crafted during a trip to Berlin and is the quintessential techno-influenced late-night banger needed to kick off Abloh’s producing career.
Abloh says that the Orvnge was “birthed out of mutual admiration of our points of views in music and art alike,” and that it is a “track to score the moment,” while Boys Noize explained, “it’s this special moment, you let yourself drift, discover new rhythms and sounds and feel a pure connection, that’s when music is created at its best. This first track of ours sums up that awesome vibe we’ve shared in my studio in Berlin.”
Check out the track below and let us know what you think – this won’t be the last you hear of Virgil Abloh.
